Is she actually stateless though?

She may be a Bangladesh citizen. She was born in the UK and has never been to Bangladesh though. If she turns up in Bangladesh and is prosecuted she is likely to be executed. The UK doesn't extradite people to death sentences.

Basically different rights for descendants of recent immigrants. The law is an arse and should be changed.

that's a bit of a non-argument, you can say that about almost any refugee seeking asylum in a country where they haven't been before but you wouldn't tell them to go back where they came from.

Revoking citizenship is totally different to people seeking asylum.

Declaring someone has citizenship by descent from wherever their parents or grandparents were born so should leave their current place where they are legally settled is terrifying. Unless you are an AfD politician.
